Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has been attending Woodlands Park for over 18 months. The staff and facilities are very good, we always have good overview/information from the staff and feel that our son's development and learning at Woodlands Park is developing well. I like that the staff allow him to choose his keyworker
based on bonds/relationships, rather than him being allocated someone.

Overall it's been a great experience, I have seen a huge development in my son. His confidence, speech and independence have improved since starting nursery. This is all due to the commitment of the staff and effort they put in to ensure all individual targets are met. The staff are always friendly
and the rooms are always updated with new toys and displays.

Lovely nursery and very helpful and cooperative staff and management. Facilities are very good, especially the outside space. My son had changed and developed in many ways over the last three months. I would recommend Woodlands Park Nursery without any hesitation. Thank you for the hard work you are
doing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been attending Woodlands Park since July 2018. He enjoys it very much. He adores the friendly staff and is very content in the nursery.


I feel the nursery is very clean and the staff are very helpful and my child is very happy.


I receive frequent updates about the nursery via email,

which I think is very good. The security in Woodlands Park is excellent which makes this a very safe environment for my child.


Thank you to all the staff at Woodlands Park.

Review from Claire M (Mother of Child) published on 29 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves coming to Woodlands Park. He spends most of his days camped out in the forest school with others and learns skills that I couldn’t even dream of him learning at such a young age. He has come home telling me fabulous stories of cooking the full dinner on the campfire out of food that he
dug up himself. The staff are fantastic and provide wonderful, rich learning opportunities. He is fond of all the adults and talks warmly about some of the extra activities that he does such as Makaton and Spanish. Academically, he has learnt to write his name and all his initial letter sounds, all thanks to the staff at Woodlands Park. We will be so sad when he moves on to big school and wish he could stay freely exploring in the forest school forever!


Safeguarding requirements are thorough and he is really well cared for also. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been over the moon with the care provided to our son at Woodlands Park, he attends 3 days a week and has so much fun whilst he's there. After a slow start with him taking a while to settle in (due to his personality!) he now couldn't be happier or more settled. The bond he has with the girls
in the room is so lovely, I love the fact that he has had a key worker throughout who he absolutely adores. The staff do some lovely activities with the babies such as messy play, painting and baking as well as lots of playing outside. The food they eat while they are there is so varied too, he eats pretty much anything now, which was not the case before he started! The facilities are the best I've seen, as well as the nursery being off the beaten track, which we liked, the nursery itself is great with an absolutely fantastic outdoor area and brilliant interactive rooms! I will definitely recommend to anyone in the area looking for a nursery to send their child to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has attended this nursery for the past 2 years and she has enjoyed it thoroughly. The nursery, the service and the staff are all excellent. I feel at ease knowing she enjoys her time there. She has been in four different rooms during her time and has enjoyed it most in early education. The
staff in that room have been amazing and I will be sad to see her leave such an amazing learning environment.

Woodlands Park has been absolutely fantastic. My son has spent 2 years at the nursery and has seemed to enjoy every minute. He has told us he will miss nursery when he starts school. Both the staff and the facilities are outstanding. We could not recommend the nursery enough.

I can't fault Woodlands at all, our little girl was so shy and reserved before she started here but the staff at Woodlands have brought her on so much and now our little girl is so confident and bright. She is going to miss Woodlands so much but she is ready for big school! We can't thank you enough,
we will all miss you. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.931 for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.931
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Woodlands Park Day Nursery & Forest School is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
